The Big Day

Giovanna (Johanna’s best friend) got married on Friday/Saturday to Javier after dating for 10 years. I think everyone saw this one coming. The ceremony was on Friday in the court house and they had their reception on Saturday at a beautiful old house/mansion in Mira Flores. Javier’s brother dances typical Peruvian dances for a living and as a gift to the bride and groom he had four of his coworkers dance at the reception. They performed four different dances dressed in full costume as you can see. A little later there was a problem with an electrical tower nearby and all of the lights went out for about an hour. We were all worried for Giovanna but she handled it like a champ. She stayed calm and everyone continued having fun and then there was light. We continued dancing through the night until they made us leave at 3am and we headed home for a long nights sleep.

They have all been friends since elementary school.

This was the wedding cake. They cut the bigger on in the center and gave a box with a single serving cake to every guest.
